120 year old Mumbai Dabbawala culture jolts cause of Anna Hazare anti corruption movement

Mumbai Dabbawala's on strike and happy to support Anna Hazare fasting
If it's Mumbai, the first thing we obviously get on our mind is Mumbai Dabbawala but after the much famous 'Vada pav', a delicious Indian snack. Today, on Friday 19th August 2011, the hereditary has broken. Making their stand proven for Anna Hazare, the Mumbai Dabbawala's after 120 years of long lasting work, have halted their service of quality food at very nominal price to numerous Mumbaikars.

It's obvious to think twice while you are leaving your work after a long gap. But nothing seems that sort has affected Mumbai Dabbawalas' confronting the challenge and indeed the responsibility to support Mr. Anna Hazare, a social activist who made his stand proved for indefinite fast following Gandhian ways of protesting.

It's shocking to hear Mumbai Dabbawala's have stopped working after 120 year's of long standing work. It has been proved they are with less than 1 percent of mistake in 6 million carriages to sere the hunger pangers of many Mumbaikars.

Serving nearly 2.5 lakh Mumbai citizens, the Mumbai Dabbawala's have shown their sincerity to work for almost a century and more than that. But, Mr. Anna Hazare's movement against anti corruption has halted the long standing sincerity of Mumbai Dabbawala's with the strike on Friday, making it a perfect occasion to support Anna Hazare's 15 day's proposed fast started at Ramlila Grounds on Friday.

We Salute, Mumbai Dabbawala's working culture and at the same time patriotism in supporting Mr. Anna Hazare's anti corruption movement supporting to issue Jan Lokpal Bill in the parliament.
